My wife and I have re-read the emails and they seem perfectly normal to us so I have no clue.

What normally happens is someone refused the sign the form ? 

Montana is back to normal evictions for non-payment of rent. 

This helped me get the people I would normally "battle" with to work with me and help me achieve my goal.8.

Hold is your best option given whatyou have articulated. 1031 is NA given your desire to wait forreturn to normal, Normal?

That sweep account sweeps all of our normal checking and idle funds directly towards the balance.

We have both been feeling a bit... stuck lately.Now that I am working remotely (I asked my employer to remain remote even after everyone returns to the office... request pending), I have someone to go and split costs with, and I really don't have much keeping me in the Northeast (family likely moving to South Carolina in the next few years), I am ready to take the chance.There are so many places that I'm sure I would like but in an attempt to not get analysis paralysis, and actually commit to making a move, I decided to focus on Colorado Springs.This came after doing some research on decent cost of living areas that are ideal for young active professionals who love the outdoorsy lifestyle such as myself (and my friend).It seems like there are good job opportunities there if I do chose to get a job in the area (likely to be the case if my job denies my wfh request).Ultimately, I want to buy a small multifamily house to house-hack in but first I want to start narrowing down where in Colorado Springs I would like to be.I felt that it would be best for us to rent a 2 bedroom apartment for maybe a year in Colorado Springs to get a feel for the area and see if/where I would like to buy something down the road.I am not a big city guy but do like downtown and suburban areas.

If adjusting rents up to market, I highly suggest just writing a normalized new term lease, no reason not to, even if the term is 90 days it's important to have clearly defined expectations in both performance AND duration.

Spurred on by tired of living the "same ****, different day" type of lifestyle, I've given myself 90 days to purchase an investment property. 

They typically weeks out with appointments in normal times.While the “state” may allow online notaries, that doesn’t mean the title company/insurer or seller (in the case of an REO) will accept them.
